Canada’s e-spies keep an eye on terrorists, foreign agents and ‘The Good Wife’
OTTAWA — It’s among the most secretive agencies in Canada.
But one project officer at the Communications Security Establishment, the electronic spy service, was “very excited” about seeing the CSE portrayed in an April episode of the popular CBS television series “The Good Wife.”
Internal emails obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act reveal the drama about a Chicago law firm captured the attention of the CSE, which is usually preoccupied with monitoring terrorists and foreign agents.
“Just wanted to share something with you all,” wrote the project officer — whose name was deleted for security reasons — the morning after the program aired.
